Waaah, I added some content to chapter 190. Readers who want to read it can go check it out, but it's not a big deal if you don't.

Today is National Day, I wonder where all of you readers went for fun (I'm so envious!).

Chapter 196 Slaughter, the Power of Divine Beasts!

"Latias?!"

Upon seeing the Master Ball in Fang Yuan's hand, Bishas felt a chill run through his body.

"How could such noble beings as divine beasts all be gathered on one person!"

Accompanied by Latias's ethereal dragon roar, the phantom beast Latias, representing infinite energy, circled once in the air before stopping beside Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan reached out and touched Latias's smooth dragon scales, then slowly said...

"Chief Bishas, ​​with Latias here, is that enough to put you to a fight?"

Latias nodded slightly at Fang Yuan, but didn't say anything.

After all, Latias and Fang Yuan were old acquaintances who had met several times, and with the Tokiwa power on Fang Yuan, it was still possible to get Latias to help out.

After all, strictly speaking, all of Latias's trainers were selected by Latias himself.

"Why do you have Latias?! I've never heard a single rumor about you having Latias!"

"Hehe, I may not have any, but I have a wide network of connections."

"Enough talk, let's go, Latias!"

Upon hearing Fang Yuan's words, Latias flattened its two wings, which resembled the shape of an airplane, and rushed forward like a hypersonic aircraft.

At that moment, Bishas instinctively wanted to escape.

However, Bishas knew very well how slim the chances were of escaping from Latias, who was known for his speed.

Latias's Speed ​​stat isn't particularly high, but base stats are base stats and don't necessarily reflect reality.

After all, Dragonite, which has the same Speed ​​stat as Magikarp, can fly at Mach 2.

Latias and Latios, whose designs resemble fighter jets and are designed for high-speed flight, are capable of leaving a group of legendary Pokémon far behind.

Before Latias, it was nothing but a pipe dream!

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!

Moreover, Bishas also realized that this Latias was also at the Elite Four level!

On the other hand, they have three Elite Four level Pokémon!

"Houndoom, Weavile, Skarmory, charge!"

At Bishas's command, the three Elite Four-level Pokémon gritted their teeth and charged toward Latias.

Seeing Latias about to take on three opponents single-handedly, Ooki Yukinari looked at Fang Yuan with great concern and said...

"Master Fang, shouldn't we help Latias?"

Seeing the worried look on Ooki Yukinari's face, Fang Yuan calmly waved his hand and said...

"Just trust Latias and that's it."

Fang Yuan was very clear that his Shakira only possessed a portion of the divine beast form, yet it was able to defeat a powerful enemy two levels stronger than him, even though it was more than ten levels higher.

It displayed unparalleled prowess among its peers.

But the true fighting power of mythical beasts.

Fang Yuan also learned a little bit from Dr. Oki.

"Professor Oak, you said that Shakira already has the potential of a legendary Pokémon. Just how strong are true legendary Pokémon in battle?"

Professor Oak only gave Fang Yuan one sentence.

"Unless it's suppressed for a certain period, the divine beast is invincible!"

"Even if your Shakira is in its current state, at the same level, it would still be defeated by those naturally gifted legendary Pokémon!"

These words gave Fang Yuan a preliminary understanding of the divine beast's combat power.

Therefore, although Joyce's Latias is only a Champion-level Pokémon, if we distinguish it by battle power, it can be considered as half a Champion-level Pokémon!

This is a mythical beast!

Born with exceptional advantages, they are beings at the pinnacle of the elf world.

Latias rushed forward at lightning speed, and a terrifying attack that was intertwined with purple and yellow hues instantly condensed around his body, making people feel suffocated!

The Normal-type ultimate move has a power of 150 and is the pinnacle of impact-type moves!

At Latias's full speed, it became impossible for ordinary people to see its tracks.

Only Fang Yuan's eyes, enhanced by both his superpowers and Tokiwa's power, could barely make out Latias's movements.

Latias crashed directly into Houndoom's most vulnerable abdomen.

The Houndoom that was barking wildly just a second ago was sent flying, crashing into dozens of trees before finally managing to stop.

Seeing Latias's fighting prowess and Houndoom's miserable state, Bishas felt breathless.

He so wished it were all an illusion.

Even in his despair, Bishas had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue fighting.

"Mavila! Protect, Skarmory..."

Watching Houndoom being almost instantly defeated, and Weavile and Skarmory struggling in just a few minutes.

Only then did everyone present gain a more accurate understanding of mythical beasts, these kinds of spirits that generally only exist in legends.

In particular, Yukinari Oki, while watching Latias fight, quickly took out paper and pen to record Latias's heroic fighting posture.

"It's too perfect, everything is too perfect?"

"I never knew there were such perfect elves in this world. Elves are such amazing creatures."

Seeing Xuecheng's excitement, Xiaomao was momentarily stunned.

He saw a reflection of his grandfather in Xuecheng's excited face.

"No... that can't be, right?"

Xiao Mao dared not overlap the two figures no matter what.

I don't even dare to think about it.

After all, if... if...

Xiao Mao didn't even dare to think about facing his grandfather when he got back.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It's all just a coincidence!"

Xiao Mao kept comforting himself.

Fang Yuan looked at Bishas, ​​who was sweating profusely, and at the battlefield that was gradually turning one-sided.

Fang Yuan, along with Nine-Tails, Swampert, and Shakira, arrived at Houndoom's side, which had been instantly killed by Latias.

However, to Fang Yuan's surprise, Houndoom was not instantly killed.

Instead, he stood up shakily amidst the ruins.

"As expected of a Champion-level Pokémon, its stamina and defense are truly impressive."

Fang Yuan couldn't help but marvel, after all, Latias's attack just now would have been unbearable even if Swampert had used Shagira as a shield.

And Houndoom actually withstood that blow and was able to stand up!

Looking at the trembling Houndoom, the Swampert and Shakira beside him, and the floating bubbles that had returned after the rainstorm had stopped.

And the Nine-Tailed Fox as a protector.

Fang Yuan chuckled.

"With Mega Tyranitar and Latias both tied up right now, let me see just how strong this so-called Elite Four Pokémon really is!"

Fang Yuan waved his hand, and Swampert, Shakira, and Floating Bubble swarmed forward, beginning a righteous gang attack.

Three against one, and they were bullying a heavily injured Pokémon. Fang Yuan thought he could end the battle quickly.

However, Fang Yuan underestimated the difference between Elite Four level Pokémon and non-Elite Four level Pokémon.

Chapter 197 A Just Brawl: The True Power of a Champion-Level Pokémon

"Swamp Monster, Freeze Punch, Shakira Rock Slide, Floating Bubble, Water Bubble!"

The three Pokémon teamed up to attack the heavily injured Houndoom.

Fang Yuan had thought the battle would end quickly.

But the next second, the three elves suffered a terrible fate.

Houndoom stood up, glanced at the three Pokémon that were attacking, and looked at them with disdain.

It was as if, in his eyes, the Swampert posed no threat whatsoever to them.

Houndoom opened its mouth, and a seemingly ordinary jet of flame shot out.

However, when they saw Houndoom's flamethrower, Swampert and the others' expressions changed.

Shakira's abdomen was only grazed by the flames; the armor, which originally possessed near-Heavenly King-level defensive capabilities, seemed to have never existed.

The terrifying heat penetrated Shakira's defenses, causing the body inside Shakira's armor to feel pain again after a long time.

The floating bubble-drop-shaped water cannon was directly penetrated by the anti-type attack, and a white mist rose up on the scene, but it did not affect Houndoom's Flamethrower from shooting through the mist and rushing straight at Swampert.

Swampert also raised its fist without hesitation, covered it with ice blades, and punched Houndoom's Flamethrower.

Even with its flames weakened twice and covered by ice blades, Swampert still felt the terrifying heat and the incredibly dense, higher-level energy within them.

Swampert was unwilling to give up. With a roar, it unleashed its full power with both fists, tearing Houndoom's Jet Hoth in two.

Houndoom glanced at Swampert with some surprise, then looked at its own throbbing abdomen with a sense of helplessness.

Even so, Houndoom still looked arrogantly at Shakira, Bubble, and Swampert.

That haughty, dismissive attitude completely infuriated the Swamp Monster and Fang Yuan.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, two Elite Four-level Pokémon lay dead on the roadside in front of Latias, incapacitated.

The remaining Tyranitar could only struggle to hold on under the combined attack of Mega Tyranitar and Latias, and it looked like it was about to collapse.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan took a deep breath and immediately deactivated Tyranitar's Mega Evolution.

Fang Yuan and Swampert exchanged a glance, and the light of Mega Evolution shone again.

However, after three super evolutions in a short period of time, even Fang Yuan's stamina was starting to give out. His legs felt weak and his waist felt slightly shaky.

But a real man can't say he can't do it!

Fang Yuan quickly took out the supplies prepared by Nine-Tailed Fox and gulped down two bottles.

Only then did I feel a bit of strength returning to my legs.

"You all join in and wear them down from a distance on the edge!"

Fang Yuan took out Poliwrath and Kingdra's Poké Balls, as well as Scizor.

At this moment, the floating bubble also noticed the swamp monster and Fang Yuan's anger.

Of course, Floating Bubble was also very angry. Its gorgeous attacks were no match for the opponent, which made Floating Bubble decide to get serious.

A localized torrential downpour once again enveloped this small area.

Fang Yuan watched as seven or eight Pokémon battled a heavily injured Houndoom, with a Mega Swampert as the main force, and the torrential rain!

"I'd like to see just how strong you, this so-called Heavenly King, really are!"

A violent storm, and a beating by seven or eight elves.

The once arrogant Houndoom could no longer laugh, and its haughty expression gradually faded.

Even so, this Houndoom remained very confident.
